Hey folks, it's Ben Greenfield and this is probably the last time that I will be podcasting

to you from Vietnam.

By the time you listen to this, I'll be on a plane back to the mainland after completing

the Laguna Langco triathlon in Vietnam.

As a matter of fact, I just crossed the finish line of the race a few hours ago.

I took a nap and I'm here sipping a cup of Vietnamese coffee, which is about the strongest

stuff you're ever going to find.

You're actually supposed to consume it with sweetened condensed milk because of how powerful

it is.

It's finally ground Vietnamese-grown, dark roast coffee that they brew with this small

metal French drip filter.

And it will knock your socks off.

I declined the sweetened condensed milk and I'm just sipping it over ice and my eyeballs

are popping out of my head.

So the triathlon went well.

I was the first overall amateur and actually the fifth overall finisher.

I was a little bit nervous going into this race with all the minimalist triathlon training

I've been doing, meaning that I've pretty much only been doing high intensity interval

training, some isometrics, a little bit of electrostimulation, and some cold thermogenesis.

So that's about six to eight hours of training per week and it turned out okay.

So by the way, I will be doing a seminar on April 26th that's called Ask Me Anything

about minimalist triathlon training.
